It’s official, Amazon is bringing back ‘Lord of the Rings’
Set to film in New Zealand, Amazon Studios will be producing “The Lord of the Rings” television series, following in the footsteps of the movies produced by Peter Jackson. Pre-production has already begun, and the studios have already confirmed and announced its main cast.
“The Lord of the Rings” series will feature a lot of stars. Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Budge, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, and Charlie Vickers are all set to appear in the show.
Casting underwent a global search, but after extensive auditions, series showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said that they are delighted with the “brilliant performers.”
“These exceptionally talented women and men are more than just our actors: they are the newest members of an ever-expanding creative family that are now working tirelessly to bring Middle-earth to life anew for fans and audiences worldwide,” Payne and McKay said in a statement.
“Game of Thrones” alum Bryan Cogman signed on as a consulting producer and J.A. Bayona is set to direct multiple episodes.
Little is known about the plot of the series, but for sure new storylines preceding “The Fellowship f the Ring” will be explored.
